A golden Rule for the vse of
things indifferent.
ALl things which are lawfull,
are not alwayes expedient:
where the lawfulnes is certainely
knowne, aduise on the expedien∣cie;
and when thou art resolued
of both, yet remember it is not
good to come vnder the power of
any thing: custome drawes a car∣nall
man to necessitie, that hee
cannot want that which he hath
beene vsed to haue: but so to
vse the creature that thou keepe
thine heart free, vnthralled with
the seruitude thereof, and ready
at all occasions to want it, is the
perfection of him, who hath lear∣ned,
while he walkes vpon earth,
to haue his conuersation in heuen.
